Breaking even really feels a lot like a breakup: clearly no longer compatible, yet stubbornly holding on, thinking "Maybe if I wait a little longer, things will get better"... The longer I drag it out, the more painful it becomes, and I still have to pay interest (time, emotions, opportunity costs included).
Now I prefer to admit defeat earlier, even if it means smaller positions, at least I can loosen my grip and sleep well at night.
Recently, before the main public blockchain upgrades/hard forks, everyone in the group has been guessing whether ecosystem projects will migrate.
I'm a bit anxious too, but honestly, at times like this, it's better to write down the "worst-case scenario" in your mind first: what if it goes offline, what if cross-chain gets stuck, what if liquidity thins out—can I accept that?
If not, reduce some positions—don't be stubborn.
What I fear missing the most isn't actually opportunities, but the self-deception of pretending nothing's wrong when I should really be moving on.
